Dushan Sect is located in the Dushan Mountain six miles away from the southwest of Shanyin, the same belongs to Huiji Mountain, it is the leading large sect of Huiji County, hundreds of people from the sect, the disciples and the outer disciples add up to nearly 100, looking at the mountainside, the pavilion eaves loom in the distance, a good piece of grand foundation.

On a moonlit night, Gu Zuo groped in the dark, came to the halfway road of Dushan, found a corner, and hid in the bushes behind the trees.

Occasionally, the disciples of the Dushan Sect went up and down the mountain, or in twos and threes, or alone, Gu Zuo didn't make any moves, just lying in the bushes and waiting silently, until midnight, he quietly left, looking for a remote and hidden place in the mountains, and staying for a day.

At night, he returned to the corner of the trail and continued to wait for the right time and the right person.

After three days like this, at night, Gu Zuo finally saw Li Man.

The night wind blows and makes people intoxicated. Li Man carried a lantern and hummed an unknown song, and walked up the mountain road, and when he turned the corner, a small tree in front of him suddenly fell, startling him. When he raised the lantern and looked closer to the small tree, a whimpering sword sound sounded behind his ears, and a sharp cool breeze suddenly hit the back of his head.

Someone sneaks up behind with a blade!

In this dangerous situation, Li Man's true qi flowed in his body, permeating his whole body, and his body slammed forward, dodging the blades that came from behind.

But he tripped over the rope that disappeared without a trace, fell and gnawed on the mud, and above his knees, two bloody wounds suddenly strangled out.

Fortunately, he braked in time, otherwise his two legs would have been wasted. In a panic, he was about to scold, but his throat was pressed against an invisible short knife, and the blade behind his head also arrived, pressing down on his neck.

Li Man was so frightened that his soul went out of his body, and secretly said that my life is over!

But what he was waiting for was not a separation, a whimper, a short knife and a flying sword pressed him in the middle, and did not pierce further, but only made him dare not move.

Li Man couldn't help but beg bitterly: "Which brother is joking with Li? Is it a lack of money or other requirements, although the Tao comes, Li likes to make friends the most......"

Before he finished speaking, he suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, and his eyes suddenly turned black, and he fainted on the spot.

Gu Zuo tied him up, removed all his clothes, shoes and socks, and left no strip of cloth, and hung him on the big tree next to the mountain road.

The horn knife in his hand turned, Gu Zuo stared at a certain place with him and thought for a long time, and finally let it go, but he couldn't help but crackle and slap him, slapping Li Man's face and swelling half of it.

Two silver cakes fell from Li Man's sleeve pocket, Gu Zuo put them in his arms, each silver cake weighed more than five taels, and the two pieces together were almost worth ten yuan, ten thousand dollars!

In addition to the silver cake, there is also an IOU written by a disciple of Jinglan Valley, owing Li Man 30,000 yuan, in addition to some messy small items, such as rouge boxes used to please women, among which there is also a woman's sweat towel.

Gu Zuo took this sweat towel and thought for a moment before putting it away.

He found a leeward spot and lit a fire, and burned all his clothes and miscellaneous items, and he looked at the IOU for a moment, and threw it into the fire.

It's a pity that Li Man didn't bring the spirit stone, which made Gu Zuo very regretful. But regret is regret, and the idea is finally reached.

Gu Zuo took advantage of the night to touch into the city, and the low earthen wall in the county town couldn't stop Gu Zuo at this time. Along the streets and alleys to the outside of Song Xingcao's house, he entered over the wall and lurked in the darkness.

Listening to the snoring in the main house, he waited for half an hour to confirm that the people inside were asleep, Gu Zuo lifted the window lattice and got into it like a civet.

Song Xingcao is not a cultivator, he is not alert, and he is sleeping with his wife.

Gu Zuo stuffed the sweat towel into his hand, Song Xingcao smashed his mouth, grabbed the sweat towel, turned over, put the sweat towel on his face, and continued to sleep.

With a long breath, Gu Zuo turned around and left, and quickly turned out of the city.

That night, Song Xingcao slept soundly.

After dawn, Li Man was discovered by the sect and was watched by more than ten people on the spot, and his ugly appearance spread again, becoming the laughing stock of the entire sect. Li Man thought that it was Jing Langu's hands and feet, so he pulled several senior brothers from his sect forward, and fought with Jing Langu's disciples twice, injuring several people.

This incident alarmed the sect elders on both sides, and they traced the source and pulled out an IOU of 30,000 yuan - this was an important reason why Li Man was suspicious of Jing Langu's disciples. As soon as the IOU was pulled out, both sides died down on the spot, as if it had never happened, and no one knew what was going on outside.

But for a long time, Li Man and that Jinglan Valley disciple did not appear, and they didn't know where they went.

Song Xingcao's family was in a big mess, the sweat towel was embroidered with the woman's name and surname, Mrs. Song was the daughter of a big family in Linxian County, how could she stand her husband stealing people outside, crying and preaching everywhere that she wanted to catch the adulterer, but who knew that it was a concubine in the first room of Lu County's order.

After Zhang Mo heard about these two things, he thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, the little concubine didn't know how to deal with the Lu County Order, but Song Xingcao was removed from the yamen by Zhang Mo by taking the opportunity.

Gu Zuo, who caused a dispute, was completely unaware of these things, he went all the way to the south, only to feel refreshed, the world has never been so open, and a great future of cultivation is beckoning to him!

At this moment, he had arrived in Kuanzhou, five hundred miles to the south, and was standing at the foot of Kucang Mountain, looking at a notice in a daze. The Kuocang faction is ready to sell the spirit stone in three days, but anyone who is interested can come to negotiate at that time.

The spirit stone is the most basic cultivation resource, and the Cang sect has a spirit stone mine, which is the head of the Jiangnan Dongdao sect. Gu Zuo is rich now, he has ten thousand dollars! According to the market price, he should be able to buy ten spirit stones, which is enough for him to cultivate for a long time!

There is a Ningzhen cave on the west slope of the Kuocang Mountain, the hole is the most famous spiritual stone pit in the east of the Yangtze River, with an annual output of tens of thousands of spiritual stones, it is the foundation of the Kuocang faction, and the Kuocang faction is also located in the south of the Yangtze River because of it, and is one of the twelve famous doors recognized in the world.

The expansion of the cang faction is a big family business, dozens of courtyards inside and outside each other, occupying a thousand acres around the Ningzhen Cave, covering the Ningzhen Cave tightly. The pavilion comes down from the mountain, the mountain gate has been standing to the Yong'an River at the foot of the mountain, sixteen disciples guard the mountain gate, and check their identities under the archway.

With such a weather, Gu Zuo had never seen it, and the Liulin Sect and Dushan Sect in Shanyin County were completely untable. He stood still from a distance, watched for a long time, waited for a few groups of outsiders to go up the mountain, figured out the number of roads, and then came over.

"Where do you come from?"

"Shanyin County, Huiji County, Huaixian Pavilion Gu Zuo, wants to enter Guishan to buy spirit stones. ”

The other party thought for a moment, and seemed to have no impression of the Huaixian Pavilion, and said, "Please also ask the distinguished guest to show the token." "This is to ask Gu Zuo to take out a credential that can prove his identity, without a credential, and he is a strange face, it is very likely that the Kuocang faction will not let him go up the mountain.

Gu Zuo hurriedly took out the Yunyou document issued by the criminal Cao of Shanyin County, as well as his own Huaixian Pavilion card and Dao Certificate, after the other party took it and inspected it, he walked to a middle-aged monk in the lead to verify, the monk took out a brand-new booklet in his arms, dipped his fingers on his tongue, turned to a page in the middle, and then slid down from top to somewhere, and nodded.

Gu Zuo vaguely saw that the cover page of the booklet read "The Book of Sects in the World", but it was the latest edition issued by the Chongxuan Department at the end of last year.

At this moment, Gu Zuo couldn't help but thank himself for his persistence, although it was a sect that only had a single transmission and lost its foundation, but Huaixian Pavilion still belonged to a famous and decent sect, and was included in the canon by the Chongxuan Administration, and because of this sect book, he was an innocent monk with roots!

When the other party pointed him to the path up the mountain, there was another son-in-law at the mountain gate, dressed in brocade and satin, with a beautiful jade pendant on his waist, who was more chic and generous than Gu Zuo, but because his background was not in the sect book, he was almost unable to enter.

Gu Zuo listened to a few words on the side, and the boy brother tried his best to talk about it, and finally put the sword at the mountain gate, and then he was let in. The scabbard was made of gold silk rosewood and inlaid with jade, and even the disciples of the Kuangcang Sect who received the sword couldn't help but draw their swords and play with them for a while, which can be seen to be expensive.

The disciples of the Kuangcang faction pointed to Gu Zuo, who had already climbed the steps, and said to Brother Gongzi: "Follow him up the mountain, don't run around." ”

The boy brother rushed to Gu Zuo's side in three steps and two steps, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?"

Gu Zuo turned sideways and saluted: "Huaixian Pavilion Gu Zuo." ”

Brother Gongzi introduced himself with a smile: "Look up for a long time...... Liu Xuanji in the Lower Tibetan Sword Villa. ”

Seeing Gu Zuo's stunned face, he added: "Dongyang, Wuzhou, Tibetan Sword Villa." ”
